Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Gian has encouraged me to work through many issues. He has encouraged me and challenged me in a way that is kind but professional at the same time. Every session has had me both encouraged and challenged. I’ve never thought any session was a waste of time. I absolutely do recommend Gian for anyone looking for a great therapist. I’m very thankful for the encouragement and help.
